Levelling · SavvyStance

Level, without the guesswork

Two axes of tilt on the screen, with which wheel to lift and by how much. Set your own idea of level once - a slight pitch if you sleep better that way - and everything after that is measured to your setting.

£75 including VAT

You will need: A SavvyVan3 panel. Everything the add-on needs in software is already on the panel.

The SavvyVan3 levelling screen showing front-to-back and side-to-side views of a van, both reading 0.0 and marked "Perfectly Level"

What it does

  • Which wheel, and by how much

    Rather than a bubble to interpret, the screen tells you what to put under which wheel. Glance, chock, done - usually before the kettle has boiled.

  • Level means what you say it means

    Park somewhere you are happy with, level the van by hand, then press Set Level. From then on that reads as 0.0, so a sensor mounted a degree out, or a pitch you prefer for sleeping, is accounted for.

  • It knows the shape of your van

    Enter the distance between your wheels front-to-back and left-to-right and the suggestions come out in centimetres of ramp rather than degrees of tilt.

  • Keeps up while you move

    Readings refresh every five seconds, so you can drive up the ramps and watch it settle instead of getting out to check.

Mounting orientation matters - arrow pointing towards the front of the vehicle, writing facing up, on something solid and roughly flat. Not on a wall, and not upside down under the roof.

What else you will need

  • A 12V feed to power the sensor
  • Somewhere solid and roughly flat to mount it, arrow forwards and writing up
  • Nothing else - the levelling screen is already on your panel

Not compatible with SavvyVan Lite v2.1 panels. Worth knowing now rather than after it arrives.

If you have a SavvyVan Lite

SavvyStance does not work with the SavvyVan Lite v2.1 panel - the previous generation cannot talk to it. It is a panel age thing rather than anything you have done wrong, and the fix is a SavvyVan3.
